Obviously, Sarah Palin Is Racist

“‘So Sambo beat the bitch!’ This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.” How dare sexist lipstick dog Sarah Palin call Hillary Clinton a “bitch.” [LA Progressive]

Just hating on people that took four years and one college to get a degree. Actually Barry transferred from Occidental in LA to Columbia in NYC. I can only imagine the schools Caribou Barbie traded up to go to the University of Idaho– the fighting Wide Stancers!

That this dollop of frozen pond scum thinks she can criticize or demean Barry or his accomplishments is hilarious. But if she keeps it up, I’m gonna fuck up her face. I’m a pacifist by nature, but don’t go hating on Hopey.

This is so out of context, she was simply recapping the plot of ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It’.
Everyone knows that she always refers to Obama as ‘the coon’.

We heard her at (what I’m guessing?) is her most eloquent when she spoke before the world the other night. I am shocked that sitting amongst her “peoples” this was actually as bad as it got.

“Sambo.” Ugh. Betcha a coke she was at a Denny’s.

[re=87709]HarrietB.[/re]: The Sambo story is an old one. He has a fight with a tiger and turns him into butter over a pair of shoes. Sambo became known for how resourceful black boys can be when faced with danger. He also became synonomous racial slurs. It was an old movie theatre cartoon which can be seen on You Tube. My dad was a projectionist back in the 40’s and actually had a copy of the cartoon. It’s apparently based on an old African fairy tale but has been used in such a disgusting way that it’s become part of the stuff of hateful legend.

I remember eating at Sambo’s as a kid when it was a chain. The original one still exists:

I was just thinking that nothing was going to get me angrier than her trying to ban books. I wonder what’s going through Lieberman’s mind as he’s trying to play Henry Higgens to this Buchananite with tits. Audio recording would be sweet.

A reliable source in Alaska tells me that Palin hates the Eskimos because they killed the seal bull she used as her favorite sea mammal sex partner. This source asks not to be named, but states there is a herd of Palin-spawned Pinnipeds on Alaska’s southern coast.

I heard that when she meets a Native she raises her right hand and says, “How”…pauses a second, adds “..you doin’?”, then cackles like she just tasered a seal.

[re=87694]BigDupa[/re]: From wikipedia: Palin spent her first college semester at Hawaii Pacific College, transferring in 1983 to North Idaho College and then to the University of Idaho. She attended Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska for one term, returning to the University of Idaho to complete her Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism, graduating in 1987.

For a minute there, I thought you said ‘fuck her face.’ Aha! That explains why more men than women polled by ABC News (Washington Post, 9/6/08) viewed her more favorably (54% vs 47%). (Do they poll hermaphrodites? Could get some interesting feedback!)

“No wonder the vast sea of white, cheering faces at the Republican Convention went wild for Sarah: They adore the type, it’s in their genetic code. ”

Folks, even “Eskimo” is kinda racist, a broad brush way to dismiss the whole group of people. If you talk to them, they tend to either refer to themselves as Alaska Natives or by their actual Tribal name (Yupik, Inuit, Aleut, etc).

I hope we all fully realize the cynicism in the “Country First” bumper sticker McCain has fastened to his campaign trailer, and the sickness that applauds and totally unqualifed, unvetted candidate that comprises nearly 50% of our country. It’s a revelation a minute, but Palin’s been closeted. We need Tim Russert to get back to earth for his curtain call. Not good stuff folks.

Undeterredbyreality

[re=87808]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: I agree with Msr. Grumpe, TexasCowGirl and especially Texan Buldoggette: Her speech (the one she read, anyway, was so full of lies, misrepresentations and just plain bullshit that she brought this upon herself. She may have opposed the Bridge to nowhere, but not until she got her money from the feds; her dismissal of Barack as a community organizer–in fact her dismissal of community organizing as a laughable idea; her objection to giving accused criminals any constitutional rights–everything she said that night was objectionable. She is NOT qualified to be on this ticket any more than anybody in this discussion–probably much less so than most. She made personal attacks and spat upon the ideas of millions–and not in a gracious way, either. She was a bit presumptuous getting up in front of the RNC (and the world) for her first speech and acting as if her shit don’t stink. The speech McCain had written for her would have sounded different coming from a seasoned veteran of the political wars, and may even have had some bite. But coming from her was like watching one of those talking baby commercials. The mouth moved, the words came out, but there was no “there” there. She was a mouthpiece and nothing more. A pretty one. A woman. Those last two are the only qualifications she has, and that reflects the absolute cynicism of McCain and the rest of the party in choosing and accepting her. They know she’s not qualified, but they’ll never say it (at least not when the mikes are on).

Palin is a red herring meant to distract the MSM away from Bush=McCain.

I know she’s great fun to snark, but this is a walking talking distraction like the flag amendment, the gay marriage amendment, immigration, and swiftboating. Of course she’s said and done stupid things. And btw, she’s a babe with moxie. Gag. Bush=McCain.

So far, my favorite comment on Palin comes from the O-man himself:

“Listen, if they want to work the refs, they are free to do so. I think the public can make their judgments about this. The notion that any questions about her work in Alaska is somehow not relevant to her potentially being vice president of the United States doesn’t make too much sense to me. I think she has got a compelling story, but I assume that she wants to be treated the same way that guys want to be treated, which means their records are under scrutiny. I have been through this for 19 months. She has been through it, what, four days so far.”

[re=87808]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: Time magazine, as we all seem to know, didn’t have a list, but Time magazine stated that she looked into banning books.

It’s going to be easier to pry my library card from my cold dead hands. What books are you OK with people banning? There is something very wrong with people who identify public school teachers and librarians as the enemy.

We’ve had tall tales about politicians as long as we’ve had elections. But Time magazine is not the National Enquirer, and the majority of what they’ll print has some basis in fact. There are plenty clearly concrete facts about Palin to raise serious questions. I am not suggesting she be shot through the lungs. I am saying she is not fit to be a fragile 72 year old heartbeat away from leader of the free world.

Here’s an interesting follow-up by the writer of the original “Sambo” article, where he stands by his sources:

[re=87956]Melvil Dewey[/re]: Thanks for the update. Frankly, I agree with you. This seems like decent vetting on the reporter’s part and something that could actually hold water. I sincerely hope that the MSM gets hold of this thing and puts it front and center.

Every day, I see something more frightening about this woman. If this country is so stupid as to buy into this ridiculous circus act, time to start researching a new residence.

Lee Marvin

In the years between 2045 and 2050, white people will officially become a minority group in this country. Sometime before that happens, the Republican party (in it’s current form, at least) will have won it’s final election. Demographically, it will be a different country – one hostile to a national electoral college victory for the Republican ticket. When the children of Latino immigrants born in this country are old enough to vote, they will not be voting Republican (for the most part) because of a multi-generational memory of the way their parents and grandparents were treated by the party. This, in addition to the 40-45% of the white vote that the Democratic ticket can assume, and the vast majority of the black vote, adds up to an insurmountable lead for any Democratic, or ‘non-Republican’ tickets.

What this means is that the McCain/Palin ticket will probably be one of the last three or four Republican presidential tickets that are viable.

If you sense desperation in the right wing, it’s because of this realization – they are feeling the approaching marginalization, and it terrifies them.

And that is why you see red-meat candidates like George W Bush and Sarah Palin being put forward with the willingness to do anything, literally anything, to get them in power. It’s a desperate, clawing, death rattle of a political party.

I think Obama/Biden have to hit back a little harder – and that wouldn’t be difficult.

Democrats have always taken “the high road” in the last two elections while Repubs take the low, and then cheat to the end.

Time for Dems to play the Repubs game because I’ve come to realize most Americans (I’m afraid) are on the low-road mentality. They simply “don’t see” the benefit to the high road.

We’d like to believe differently – but it isn’t so.

(Among other problems with the list, it would have been slightly impossible for Palin to have tried to remove Harry Potter books from the library in 1996, seeing as how the first Potter book wasn’t published until 1998). At least two subsequent comments in the lirarian.net thread spat back the list as though it were gospel.

The worst part of the kerfuffle is that, once the list was debunked, any number of conversative blogs triumphantly announced that the whole story of Palin’s inquiries into censoring the Wasilla library had somehow been disproven.

Incidentally, the reason that dictionaries are frequently on banned-books lists is that most modern dictionaries have tended to include definitions of obscenities. I guess book-banners believe that if those words weren’t in print, children would never learn them.

[re=88004]sanantonerose[/re]: I’m 40, and to me Sambo was the name of a restaurant chain (Sambo’s actually) where the food sucked, but they had the cool drawings of a black kid that hung out with a tiger. I always thought it sucked that I couldn’t have a pet tiger. Anyway, back to my point, which was, um, that I’m going to have my fifth G&T of the evening anddamn something about the snowbitchy. Oh well. Snark on, Wayne!

This will never make it past the Internet. It will be called a “rumor” and never make it to TV news.

Have I got this straight? Sarah Palin is a pit bull and it’s Hillary that’s the bitch?
Don’t fundamentalists know anything about biology or gender?

Yeah. The woman is unqualified. And a crackpot. And disingenuous. And quite frightening. Great combo as the running mate of a 72 year old man with cancer. Inspired choice…

Hey Guys – McCain and Palin lost, thank God! Palin is a hot media item right now, but it’ll never last. It’s over – yeah! It’ll be very unlikely that Palin will turn out to be anything be a very weird foot note in election history. Good ridance!
